I've been doing exactly the same since last year.
1. I do my summary in Google docs
2. I take screenshots
3. I do cards with that screenshots
This is how I passed 7 final exams in almost 2 months: neurology, rehabilitation, psychiatry, traumatology, dermatology, legal medicine, ophthalmology
I've never passed so many exams in such a short time.

Condensing lecture slides is so crucial when you’re under a time crunch like this and anki has been a life saver with making sure the info is cemented in the mind

[butterbeer]

Variations on this method:
- keyboard shortcut win + shift + S to screenshot each slide/information block and your annotations
- basic flashcard question with slide or several slides as answer
- image occlusion with part of slide
- cards where you have to draw a diagram as an answer

- make flashcards during the year to save revision time, suspend them according to your needs
- make flashcards from past papers

- customise the steps in the options group to suit the time you have left and the difficulty (if i have 2 days i tend to use 30 mins, 3 hours, 1 day, but it really depends on how I'm doing on the cards and I switch it up even between decks using option groups).

Re: Anki being unrealistic I've noticed that many studytubers who have success with this are those who able to watch recorded lectures in a flexible schedule with occasional in person practicals and tutorials. That way they are able to make Anki a priority that they consistently tackle for several hours every day. For those of us who often have 7 to 8 hours of compulsory lectures and labs per day and projects to keep up with, this is not feasible. Still watching the video but I'm sure this method is going to be a godsend since it's pretty much the conclusion I'd arrived to with my own revision 🤩

i am in my exam week and the only thing that's been keeping me up and motivated and not feel like giving up is because of nathan. so thank you nathan for sharing us how hard reality can be for everyone and not get oursleves drown just with whats on the screen, hiding the actual fact.

[studywithme]

Not a way I’d ever thought of using image occlusion but this seems like an extremely efficient method! Thank you for giving us an insight into your technique!

[leonoquil]

I used your method when I crammed one day before my exams and quizzes. While in the exam room, I was pleasantly surprised that majority of what I crammed from my professor's PowerPoint came out in the exam questions and quizzes.

I got high scores after taking them. Really a life-saver, Nathan!

By the way, I'm currently studying Medical Laboratory Science.

[nikitapotsangbam]

Cried 2 hours because of exam stress and anxiety I have to give bio, chem and phy . Completely burnt out and the content I have to revise is giving me nightmares. And nothing seem to get in my head.
But
Thank you Nathan!!

Current third-year med student here. This may work for short-term exams, but never work for long-term exams like your boards.
Also, image occlusion has a huge draw back of difficulty finding the card when you want to search for it.

[melaniemartel]

loved this method! med student here and sometimes its so hard find videos where people explain how to cram anki! I totally agree that sometimes the anki "model" is not feasible especially when you have large amounts of information and multiple classes! will definitely be using this method

Hi, I'm also a Pharmacy student in Portugal, I'm on 4th year and this video was one of the best contents about studying techniques. Here we just have like 1 or 2 days between exams and sometimes, when you're doing 7 disciplines, it can get very confusing. Thank you so much for sharing it!

[nikki]

I never usually comment but I just have to say THANK YOU I have a mock next week Tuesday on the past TWO YEARS of content and have previously had every other exam online and not really studied for them as they were made muchhh easier. THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS IS LITERAL PERFECT TIMING, YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER <3

[symoi]

OMG! you literally saved my time, I actually knew about this add-on before, but I never knew that I could group many tools in one card.
Definitely worth trying, thank you!

[ah-ghlv]

Thank you for providing a different perspective on Anki! I actually use google sheets because it was easiest and I tried anki many times but give up half way when I’m making my cards. I must try this technique for my upcoming exams!

[ltl]

Active recall is much better than passive reading for sure! But in my experience, this method doesn't help retain info long term. If you grind out 3 weeks of cardio content like this and pass your exam, that's awesome. But if you need to retain the info for long term boards studying or just to know it in general if you plan to go into a field where cardio content is relevant, the important details you learn will certainly fade just a few months out, let alone a few years out. For anyone that is aiming to retain the information you're learning LONG-TERM - definitely do anki daily over time with cumulative reviews. After a year or two in the cycle, much of that detail is ingrained in your brain forever.

I love Anki and I'm doing dentistry. It's tiring to make cards when you have so many lectures, great to do it with friends and split it. This is how I do it and I find it good too:

1. Watch lecture recordings/attend lectures to write down what the lecturer says. Super important for dentistry!
2. Do a basic anki card for eg. "Describe obturation" and screen clip the slide as the answer. I find this easier than image occlusion.
3. Use browse and then preview deck to study in order. I don't use easy, medium or hard because I find that it's very subjective.
4. Study 3-4 times before exam!

Hope this helps anyone!

[heydebee]

thank. you. i had given up on Anki thinking it wasn't for me. <3

I do something similar in two different ways depending on how much time I have. I'll make it short but in summary

Method 1 (my common method): After each lecture I group slides that correspond to Learning Objectives that my professor has because at my school you can expect 2 questions from each lecture's learning objectives) then I would image occlude or group specific slides together as an answer on Anki. So say the learning objective was "know the causes and treatments for gastric ulcers" The front of my Anki card would turn that learning objective into a question then on the back I screenshotted the slides that answer it then when I review I try my best to remember key info from those slides by going over them once by glossing them over and just having a mental conversation with myself -> "Okay, so an ulcer is a breakdown of the gastric walls because of too much acid and less protective mucous/base and we can treat it with Pepto Bismol and PPI because they counteract these effects" I try my best not to recite the slides word for word because that's not really learning I basically paraphrase the slides into a condensed easy to say version

Method 2 (least common but it's a lot more organized): Instead of going straight to screenshotting my slides and going to Anki. I'll condense the PowerPoint because the professor put way too many stuff that I know won't be tested or "over explains stuff" (you know what I'm talking about, that one prof who takes 5-6 slides to explain one concept when it could have just been easily said on one slide or a few sentences) onto a Word document. This is where I again take the Learning Objectives as the headers on my Word document, but instead of screenshotting or re-typing everything that my prof said on the slide, I'm cherry picking certain slides to screenshot or re-typing only stuff that clearly answers the Learning Objective (I can do this because at my school if they test on something that is NOT a learning objective the exam committee can see this and give us points back for the professor's mistake). What I find, is that when I do this it is annoying because I'm basically trying to organize the PowerPoint on how it should have been presented so that it's coherent (ugh) and that it takes longer to reviewing, but then I tend to do better when I do this like my grades show that this method tends to score me better marks because I'm processing the info a lot more by making a Word document of the learning objectives then answering them. I don't use this method all the time for the sake of time but if you have the speed to do this then I hope it helps (If I were a faster reader and type this would like be your best friend). Regardless, i prefer Method 1.

Also, I do this thing with spaced repetition where I usually go into Custom study so I don't actually use the spaced repetition function often but yeah, when it's nearing the exam I actually reset the cards because if I don't when I press again it'll be like half a year that I'll see it again but I have a final in 2 months. So I kind of do spaced repetition in an unconventional way too.

This is some of the most realestic anki use of all TIME!!!!
